A month after her IAS husband Pravin Darade was transferred to Pune in an insignificant post, Food and Drugs Administration commissioner Dr Pallavi Darade (Indian Revenue Service) was replaced, too. IAS officer (2004 batch) A B Unhale, promoted to the rank of secretary, took her place.
Additional chief secretary (services) Sitaram Kunte issued an order on Wednesday asking Unhale to take charge immediately. Darade has not been given a posting yet. Sources said Darade who served the state eight years on deputation may also go back to her parent Income Tax department or work another year in the state service. A 1997-batch officer, she was given a two-year extension for her deputation with the administration last May.
